Charles Dickens

The Schoolboy's Story - Original Edition Charles Dickens

Being rather young at present-I am getting on in years, but still I am rather young-I have no particular adventures of my own to fall back upon. It wouldn't much interest anybody here, I suppose, to know what a screw the Reverend is, or what a griffin she is, or how they do stick it into parents-particularly hair-cutting, and medical attendance. One of our fellows was charged in his half's account twelve and sixpence for two pills-tolerably profitable at six and threepence a-piece, I should think-and he never took them either, but put them up the sleeve of his jacket.
